How to Check Indian Railway / IRCTC PNR Status

PNR (Passenger Name Record) is a 10 digit number recorded on the top left corner of a ticket, when a passenger books a train ticket. It is the data generated by the CRS (Central Reservation System) with complete journey detail of the individuals. Using this number, you can check whether the ticket got confirmed or not.

How to Check IRCTC PNR Status:

Travellers can check their PNR status on IRCTC site. Once you made a ticket booking online, you can check PNR to know its status.
